Tucker, c Martin A. Styner, d Andre Mol, e Ceib L. Phillips, f William R. Proffit, g and Timothy Turvey h Chapel Hill, NC Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess alterations in the 3-dimensional (3D) position of the mandibular rami and condyles in patients receiving either maxillary advancement and mandibular setback or maxillary surgery only. Methods: High-resolution cone-beam computed tomography scans were taken of 21 patients before and after orthognathic surgery. Ten patients with various malocclusions underwent maxillary surgery only, and 11 Class III patients received maxillary advancement and mandibular setback. Presurgery and postsurgery 3D models were registered on the surface of the cranial base. A new tool was used for graphical overlay and 3D display with color maps to visually assess the locations and to quantify positional changes in the posterior border of the mandibular rami and condyles between superimposed models. Results: The average displacements in condylar position were small 0.77 mm (SD, 0.12 mm) and 0.70 mm (SD, 0.08 mm) for 2-jaw and 1-jaw surgeries, respectively (not significant, P.05). All 2-jaw surgery patients had backward rotational displacements of the mandibular rami (mean, 1.98 mm; SD, 1.03 mm), with a maximum surface distance change of 2 mmin8of11 subjects. For the 1-jaw surgery, all subjects had small backward rotational displacements of the mandibular rami (mean, 0.78 mm; SD, 0.25 mm), with only 1 subject having a maximum surface distance change 2 mm. The difference in mean backward rotational displacement was statistically significant (P.01). Conclusions: The visualization of 3D model superimposition clearly identified the location, magnitude, and direction of mandibular displacement. The 3D imaging allowed quantification of vertical, transverse, and anteroposterior ramus displacement that accompanied mandibular, but not maxillary only, surgery. (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2007;131:44-50) Changes in condylar position after orthognathic surgery procedures are difficult to identify and predict. 1-5 Long-term stability studies showed that maxillary advancement surgery is more stable than 2-jaw procedures. 6-8 Although many studies reported the influence of various surgical techniques on the temporomandibular joint, recent 3-dimenional (3D) From the School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC. a Postdoctoral fellow, Department of Orthodontics. b Associate professor, Department of Orthodontics. c Research assistant, Department of Orthodontics. d Research assistant professor, Department of Computer Sciences. e Research assistant professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. f Research professor, Department of Orthodontics. g Kenan professor, Department of Orthodontics. h Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners with lower radiation doses and lower costs, developed in the late 1990s, have been remarkably useful for their intended craniofacial applications. 23,24 Our aims in this study were to evaluate new tools for superimposition of 3D models constructed from CBCT images taken before and after orthognathic surgery, and to assess alterations in the 3D position of the mandibular rami and condyles in groups of patients receiving either maxillary advancement and mandibular setback or maxillary surgery only. 44

Other anatomic structures are masked for better visualization of changes in mandibular ramus and condyle. C, A and B are combined after superimposition to identify regions of interest in mandibular rami: condyles (red) and posterior border (green). MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-one patients (7 male, 14 female; years) treated at the Dentofacial Deformities Program at the School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina, were recruited for this study. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects, and the experimental protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board. CBCT scans were taken 1 week before and 1 week after orthognathic surgery with the NewTom 9000 (Aperio Services, Sarasoto, Fla). Ten patients with various malocclusions underwent maxillary surgery only, and 11 Class III patients received maxillary advancement and mandibular setback. The imaging protocol was 70-second head CBCT scanning with a field of view of mm. All presurgery CT scans were acquired with the patient in centric occlusion, and the splints were not in place at this acquisition. At 1 week after surgery, the intermaxillary splints were still in place for all patients. All 3D models were constructed from CBCT images with a voxel dimension of mm. Image segmentation of the anatomic structures of interest and the 3D graphic rendering were done by 25 using the Insight SNAP software. The presurgery and postsurgery models were registered based on the cranial base. The cranial base
3 46 Cevidanes et al American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics January 2007 structures, unlike the maxilla or the mandible, are not altered by surgery. 26 The fully automated registration 27 was computed with the MIRIT software. The Valmet software 28 was used for both visual and quantitative assessment of the location and magnitude of segmentation differences by using graphical overlays and 3D displays (Fig 1). Valmet uses color maps from blue to red that indicate 3D inward or outward displacement. Absence of surgical displacement (0 mm) is indicated by green. The 3D displacements described by the color maps require the results to be interpreted in all 3 planes of space. Blue medial surfaces and red lateral surfaces of the rami of the mandible indicated inward and outward displacements of these surfaces, respectively. Medial surfaces were colored red (outward), and lateral surfaces were colored blue (inward) if there was a medial displacement of the condyles and rami with surgery. Displacements in an anterior direction (advancement) were shown in red on the anterior surfaces (outward) and in blue on the posterior surfaces (inward). Posterior displacements (setback) were shown in red (outward) at the posterior surfaces and blue (inward) at the anterior surfaces. The specific regions of interest of the mandibular rami models of the presurgery and postsurgery images 26 were the condyles and the posterior border of the rami (Fig 2). Surface distances were not computed separately for rami anatomic structures anterior to the posterior border because these included the areas of the sagittal split osteotomies. Presurgery and postsurgery surface distances at these regions would not assess displacement but would be mainly due to the surgical cuts. The statistical analysis included independent sample t tests to assess statistical significance of the group differences. The level of significance was set at.05. RESULTS All patients in both groups had only small condylar displacements. The average displacements in condylar position were 0.77 mm (SD, 0.12 mm) and 0.70 mm (SD, 0.07 mm) for 2-jaw and 1-jaw surgeries, respectively (P.05; Fig 3, Table). Four of the 2-jaw surgery patients had small lateral condylar displacements as shown in red in the color maps (Fig 4). All subjects who had maxillary surgery only had small backward surface displacements of the mandibular rami (mean, 0.78 mm; SD, 0.25 mm), with only 1 subject having a maximum surface distance change 2 mm (Figs 5 and 6, Table). All 2-jaw surgery patients had mean backward surface displacements of the mandibular rami (mean, 1.98 mm; SD, 1.03 mm), with maximum surface distance Fig 3. Average surface distances at condyles for each patient. changes 2 mm in 8 of 11 subjects (Figs 4 and Table). 6, The difference between the 1-jaw and 2-jaw surgeries in mean backward displacement was statistically significant (P.01). The average surface distances for all surfaces of the mandibular rami were statistically different when the 2 groups were compared (Fig 7, Table). The average inward displacement at all surfaces was smaller than the image spatial resolution of 0.6 mm (Table). DISCUSSION Our findings of precise condylar repositioning in the 2-jaw surgery group were consistent with those of Busby et al 7 29 and Proffit et al that mandibular setback is generally more stable with maxillary advancement. The average surface distances at the condyles indicated small posterior and lateral displacements of the condyles for the 2-jaw surgery patients that were not significantly different from the maxillary surgery only patients. Although it is technically more difficult to maintain condylar position with mandibular surgery, it appears that it is possible to do this routinely. It was proposed that precise repositioning of the condyles

Small lateral displacements of the condyles were observed in 4 of the 2-jaw surgery patients, as shown by the outward surface distances ( 2 mm) in the lateral poles of condyles. The displacement of the condyles as measured by the methods used in this analysis might not be significant for 2 reasons: (1) the small magnitude of the surface displacements, and (2) the condyles are in the center axis of rotation relative to their articular fossae as the rami and condyles are surgically repositioned. Future long-term follow-ups will assess whether

Only 1 subject had maximum surface distance change 2 mm (red along posterior border of rami). For all other patients, mandibular surface displacements were minimal. this rotational displacement was small enough to allow for adaptive remodeling without leading to negative sequelae. The results of this study refer only to immediate postsurgery findings. Some changes might occur immediately after splint removal, and long-term results will show whether the surgical movements explain longterm stability. Surgical displacements and adaptive responses occur relative to adjacent structures in the craniofacial complex. For this reason, the measurements from 3D curves and surfaces are not isolated measurements but are determined by the manner of assembly of different parts of the craniofacial complex. The mandibular rotations after surgery might be influenced by maxillary, mandibular, and articular fossae morphology, positioning and interrelationships, and type of maxillary surgical movement. 31 Stability studies showed that maxillary displacement forward or upward is more stable than maxillary displacement downward. 6,29 Maxillary displacement downward during 2-jaw surgery would certainly influence mandibular position. The association between maxillary surgeries and the type of mandibular rotation requires further investigation and future long-term follow-up studies of condylar and rami remodeling. CONCLUSIONS We analyzed the complex 3D rotational displacements in 1-jaw and 2-jaw surgeries in this study. The visualization of 3D model superimposition and the surface distance calculation clearly identify the location, magnitude, and direction of mandibular rotations during surgery. The 3D imaging allowed quantification of vertical, transverse, and anteroposterior ramus rotations that accompanied mandibular, but not maxillary only, surgery. Condylar displacement with 2-jaw surgery was not significant when compared with maxillary only surgery. Even if small changes occur, they can be identified with this method.
